Chapter 5: Back to the Beginning
At 11:00 in the morning, Ash and Misty slowly awoke from the light shining in. Groggy, Misty opened her eyes and looked around at Ash's room. Oh yeah! I remember now. My dreams came true last night. Misty thought and smiled. Then she turned over in Ash's grasp and kissed him awake. She touched her lips to his whole face, and he slowly came around.
"Well good morning, bed head." Misty said happily. Ash rubbed his eyes and smiled at her.
"Good morning to you too, but what time is it?" Ash said nervously. Misty looked confused but told him that it was 11.
"ELEVEN? Oh no. I have to be at Professor Oak's! Misty, come with me!" Ash shouted and scrambled to get dressed. Misty, still a little groggy, jumped out of bed and put on some clothes. Ash was already dressed and dragged Misty downstairs while she was still pulling on her overalls. Ash's mom waved to them as they hurried out the door, and Pikachu ran close behind.
About a ten minute walk from Ash's house, Professor Oak's laboratory was cleverly perched atop a big hill. This had to be because the entire lab ran on wind and solar energy, which were plentiful closer to the sun. As Ash and Misty approached the big hill, he failed to notice the Meowth-like balloon floating just overhead. In the balloon, Team Rocket chuckled to themselves.
The part of Team Rocket that consistently tries to steal Ash's Pikachu consists of three members. Jessie is a vain, controlling girl with interesting magenta hair, while James is somewhat stupid but kind man who grew up in an extremely wealthy household. Then you have Meowth, a pokemon with the rare ability to speak English and is quite a stingy creature. These three made up a gang of misfits that are a part of Team Rocket. Little do they know that they were discharged from Team Rocket a while ago due to their amateur behavior.
"Ahahaha! Looks like the twerp's back where he belongs." Jessie said with an evil chuckle.
"Oooh and the little redheaded girl isn't so little anymore. Do you think they're together?" James question sarcastically. Meowth nodded.
"See I did some spyin' last night to look for tat Pikachu, but I looked in da bathroom window to find it curled in a fetal position. I asked it what was wrong, and it said it was afraid tat da twerp was doing somethin' nasty to da girl. So me bein' a curious feline, I checked in da next window and I was terrified. They were getting funky in tat room. It was nasty." Meowth explained and made a disgusting look. Jessie and James now looked disgusted as well.
"Well it seems like it isn't just the redhead that grew up, now is it?" Jessie said and winked at James, who looked nervous at Jessie's meaning. But while they were talking, Ash and Misty had already entered Professor Oak's lab.
